How big a transformer for 220V it needs? I cannot find info on power consumption (Amps or Watts)

My roomate knows all of specs. It's a solid machine though. It's noisy at times, but keep it on low while you have guests and/or watching TV. Auto while out of the house/apartment.

Dunno but step-down transformers are cheap. I even built a couple in my time,. The fact that the likely use is 220v 50Hz is irrelevant since Hz should not matter.Try import-export houses

I have been using this transformer (two of them) in India (power sources 220V 50 HZ) for over two years now to power a number of other US devices -- a 40" US LCD TV (rated 110V 60 Hz), a DVD player, an Onkyo 5.1 Receiver, a polk sub-woofer. I just made sure to limit the devices I hook up to each transformer at less than 50% of the transformer rating -- 500W max rating of all devices connected to a 1000 Watt transformer. I am very satisfied. I am back looking to order a few more for someone I know and saw your question. I think I will leave a review too.

I thought about laying down some Ohm's Law, and the (current squared x resistance) heat loss thing, sorry. Lets just say that devising a step-up transformer circuit would be impractical, expensive, and maybe illegal in most jurisdictions. Having a 220/240V - 20 amp receptacle Installed or buying a 110V unit are your only choices.

You don't need a transformer if your compressor specifications are 120 V and 1 Amp. You can plug it to a wall plug and it should work. But if the AC plug on the wall is 220v and you need to use the down converter to make your compressor work at 120 volts then You need to use the electrical formula which is P = E x I. P is the Power in Watts, E is the voltage of 110 Volts I is the current of 1 Amp. so P is = to 110 Volts to 120 Volts x by 1 Amp which is equal to Approximately 120 Watts. So if you buy a 300 Watts transformer it should be enough. Now you could also use the 500 watts if you are using your compressor for long hours to minimize the overheating of the transformer.

I just plugged it the wall with no transformer and it gave me no problems. So I didn't use one so you probably wont need one. I am in the USA. It uses a 110v

I really won't be able to answer information on the transformer. I have not need to use one so far. I suggest that you check the requirements on package or manufacturer website for further info on the transformer.

110 or 220. There is a switch on the back. You also need to change the fuse when you change voltage, but no transformer change is needed.

If the details about this item are correct the "Power consumption is 24W" - so a 200 watt transformer should be more than what you need. I have 3 strings connected to a 150watt transformer, with no heat issues or tripping.

Transformer is not needed because it is universal voltage compatible. But you will need an plug adaptor for whichever country you go to.

Transformer for 110V is in the unit. If you need 220V, then you will need extra transformer.

approximately 3 feet long, 110v transformer that takes it down to 12v (wall wart)

Ryan - Not a formal test, but guess it should be about 120 Watts in use. (the transformer is 150VA). But when it idles, should be a watt or 2 as it is A-B class.

You'll most likely need to use a transformer or other gizmo since it's typical 110. Amazon might have this model in 220v though...

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my seller is not shipping me the Japanese transformer as it is designed for 100V AC not our 120V AC. It probably isn't a problem, but I need to supply my own transformer and while I know the voltage and amperage out, I don't know the diameters of the power connector that plugs into the unit. There are a series of different sized power connectors, and it would be nice to get the correct one the first time.

I don't think you need a step-up transformer for it if it runs on 100v. This is for appliances that run on 220v - anything 100-120v should just work in a regular outlet.
